It provides the basic elements of life such as clean water, fresh air, fertile soil and supports ecosystem of the food chain. Pollution drastically alters quality of the environment by changing the physico-chemical and biological aspects of these components. Accordingly, toxic metals, combustible and putrescible substances, hazardous wastes, explosives and petroleum products are all examples of inorganic and organic compounds that cause contaminations. Specifically, pollution of toxic and heavy metal in the environment is a growing problem worldwide, currently at an alarming rate. Toxic metals threaten the aquatic ecosystems, agriculture and ultimately human health. Traditional treatment techniques offer certain advantages such as rapid processing, ease of operation and control and flexibility. But, they could not maintain the quality of the environment due to the high operational costs of chemicals used,high energy consumption and handling costs for sludge disposal and overburden of chemical substances which irreversibly affect and destroy biodiversity, which ultimately render the soil useless as a medium for plant | | Pindex | Book 2020 |

,Impact of Heavy Metal Contamination on Quality Environs, |
Rouf Ahmad Bhat,Dig Vijay Singh,Mohammad Ramzan Mir,Gowhar Rashid |
|
Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) pose serious threats to soil structure, animals, and plants. The progression in industrialization and technological support put immense load on the quality environs. The anthropogenic stress on quality environs by way of releasing huge quantities of HMs decreases the life span of quality environs significantly. There are multiple sources of releasing HMs in quality environs, which include natural as well as anthropogenic sources. However anthropogenic sources have alone added manifolds of toxic HMs into the quality environs. The presence of these substances in the ecosystems causes serious trouble to life dependent on quality ecosystems. HMs contamination in any ecosystem not only affects the life process of animals, but critically damages the life processes of plants and microbes. Various authors have evaluated the ill effects of HMs on plants, humans, and microorganism and concluded that these substances have deleterious impacts on any biota. Therefore, this chapter expresses the work published on the theme of ecotoxicity of HMs on different biota on earth.

,Concerns and Threats of Xenobiotics on Aquatic Ecosystems, |
Flávia Cristina Policarpo Tonelli,Fernanda Maria Policarpo Tonelli |
|
Abstract
Anthropogenic actions can result in environmental damage when they disrespect sustainability principles. The use of synthetic chemical substances as pesticides, the large presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in wastewaters, industrial activities using dyes or other organic compounds that can persist for a long time in nature are some examples of concerning sources of a group of pollutants called xenobiotics. This is a global problem that threatens the survival of various forms of life on the planet, including humans, and consequently from the ecosystem as a whole. This chapter will address specifically the concerns and threats related to the pollution of aquatic ecosystems by xenobiotics, highlighting the pesticides and pharmaceuticals.

,Approaches and Methods for Evaluation of Persistent Pollutant Load in Different Aquatic Environs, |
Fernanda Maria Policarpo Tonelli,Flávia Cristina Policarpo Tonelli |
|
Abstract
Organic and inorganic persistent pollutants are a serious risk to human health and to other living forms, negatively affecting the ecosystem as a whole. Contaminated surface water and groundwater are a serious concern once there are limited water resources in the world and that not only quality standards of microbial risk that regulatory agencies were accustomed to watch over are enough to define water as secure to be used. Persistent chemicals (mainly pesticides and heavy metals), even in small amount, can represent an enormous risk to the forms of life in contact with the polluted water. Some human activities like industrial ones, when performed without environmental concern, can end up polluting especially water sources: directly or through leaching from soil. This chapter will focus on approaches and methods to evaluate persistent pollutant load in aquatic environs.

,Chemical Pesticides: Integrated Methods in Assessment and Monitoring, |
Md. Shamsher Alam,Md. Qussen Akhtar,Mohammed Albratty,Hassan A. Alhazmi,Waquar Ahsan |
|
Abstract
Pesticides are the substances which are employed to kill, repel or control the pests, weeds, plant pathogens and the diseases caused by them. The widespread use of chemical pesticides in the production of food through agriculture results in contamination and these residual pesticides ultimately reach human and animal bodies through diet. Apart from the toxicities they pose to the environment, these pesticides are known to have mild to moderate health hazards when ingested. Although, regulations for the development and use of pesticides are stringent, the use of pesticides has increased extensively over the last few years. The monitoring and assessment of these pesticides in foods and environment have become a necessity owing to their deleterious effects on body. Assessing these chemicals even at low concentrations is important and a number of methods are developed to detect these pesticides. This chapter summarizes different methods for the monitoring and assessment of these pesticides along with the analytical techniques employed.

,Chemical Transformations of Synthetic Persistent Substances, |
Radu-Vasile Bagiu,Ioan Sarac,Florina Radu,Romeo-Teodor Cristina,Monica Butnariu,Iulia-Cristina Bagiu |
|
Abstract
Plant and animal organisms use synthetic persistent substances from the environment, which can reach concentrations in biocenosis higher than in the compartment from which they were taken. In order to be able to estimate the effects of a toxic substance at the level of an individual and then at the level of a population, it is necessary, first of all, to evaluate to what extent it can accumulate. The concentration that a contaminant can reach in an organism is the result of several processes: taking over from the environment, storing, biotransformation and eliminating it, all these processes being influenced by a multitude of factors.

,Ecotechnologies for Persistent Pollutants, |
Iulia-Cristina Bagiu,Ioan Sarac,Florina Radu,Cristian Bostan,Monica Butnariu,Radu-Vasile Bagiu |
|
Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants represent organic substances that have toxic properties, are resistant to degradation, they bioaccumulate and are transported by air, water, and migratory species across international borders and are stored away from their place of origin. Research has shown that continental aquatic ecosystems are vulnerable to pollution with POPs, and the accumulation of these substances in fish meat that can enter in the human consumption is significant. Thus, a mechanism is needed to obtain coherent data at regional and global level regarding the concentration of these substances in the sediment, water and aquatic organisms, also research efforts are needed to evaluate the effects of POPs on ecological processes, to evaluate toxicological and nontoxicological effects and also medium- and long-term risks.

,Microbiological Aspects of Pesticide Remediation, |
Anum Zulfiqar,Azra Yasmin |
|
Abstract
Pesticides are synthetic compounds being used to mitigate different types of pests including insects, weeds, rodents, mites, etc. Growing use of pesticides especially for agricultural purposes has led to soil contamination deteriorating its quality. Persistence of these compounds and their travelling in the environment due to runoff, leaching, or vaporization results in air and water pollution. Pesticides pose detrimental hazards to ecosystem functioning and health of living organisms by accumulation and magnification in the food chain. Due to these threats, degradation of such harmful compounds is of great importance. Remediation of pesticides by physical and chemical methods exhibits various limitations that make them less suitable for this purpose. Bioremediation is an alternative technique to treat pesticides in an economically feasible and environmentally safe way. Use of microbes is a sustainable approach to decontaminate the pesticides due to their natural ability to degrade complex pollutants. Microbial enzymes and metabolic pathways are responsible for different mechanisms leading to complete or partial mineralization of pesticides. Importance of microbes and the mechanism

,Ecofriendly Approaches for Remediation of Pesticides in Contaminated Environs, |
Dig Vijay Singh,Rohaya Ali,Anita,Mahiya Kulsum,Rouf Ahmad Bhat |
|
Abstract
Water is an essential part of human life, without which survival is not possible. The sources of freshwater are continuously being degraded by various human activities like improper wastewater discharge, unscientific solid waste management, rapid industrialization, urbanization and pesticide application. Application of pesticides for reducing the population of pests into the agricultural and related fields not only affects the target organisms, but also affects the vital organisms in the soil and damages the quality of water ecosystem. These substances affect human beings badly. Pesticides application on crops directly affects non-target organisms, soil health and also reaches to water bodies by leaching from the soil. Undoubtedly, pesticides are helping to increase the crop yield in short time but in long run, it degrades the microorganism present in soil and water ecosystem. Physical and chemical treatments for pesticide removal are expensive as well as inefficient for sustainable future. Bioremediation using microorganisms (bacteria, algae and fungi) can remove pesticides from environment in versatile, cost effective and ecofriendly manner thus help in remediation of contaminate

,Zooplankton: The Significant Ecosystem Service Provider in Aquatic Environment, |
Yahya Bakhtiyar,Mohammad Yasir Arafat,Saima Andrabi,Hamid Iqbal Tak |
|
Abstract
The ecosystem services provided by freshwater zooplankton community (viz., rotifera, cladocera, copepoda and ostracoda) are very much significant and valuable. By feeding on phytoplankton or other members of zooplankton species, they act as primary consumers or secondary consumers, and hence playing a vital role in maintaining the biological configuration of the food web and overall balance of the aquatic ecosystem. Besides, the zooplankton play a central role in trophic cascade mechanisms; therefore, the eutrophic lakes of the world can be successfully restored by the so-called biomanipulation phenomena. Even in the diet of fish larvae, some highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are provided by some zooplankters for their successful development; therefore, they act as a backbone for the successful aquaculture industry. An important role played by these valuable assets is to monitor the changes in the aquatic ecosystems due to climate change and various anthropogenic influences, like eutrophication, heavy metal load, changes in physicochemical parameters, etc. and that too in their early stages. Therefore the remedial steps can be trailed at v

Amauri Ponce-Hernández,Juan José Maldonado-Miranda,Nahum Andrés Medellin-Castillo,Angel Josabad Alon |
|
Abstract
Recalcitrant pollutants mainly come from industrial processes such as mineral extraction, metal casting and coating, discharge of effluents, and nuclear fuel generation. These pollutants are introduced into food chain resulting in their accumulation in human body. Even at low concentration they pose serious health effects. A low-cost biotechnological alternative for remediation of recalcitrant pollutants is phytoremediation. Plants are capable of degrading, immobilizing, stabilizing, and extracting toxic elements from soil, sediment, or water environs. Furthermore, this chapter summarizes the information obtained by scientific sources about the use of plants for cleaning up of recalcitrant pollutants from disturbed environs. Reviews of 80 plants used in remediation of heavy metals and 13 to remove organic compounds have been discussed in this chapter. In addition a case study pertaining to phytoremediation potential of . was discussed in lucid manner. The study revealed that . is a hyperaccumulator for Pb and removes other heavy metals at good rate in disturbed environs. Therefore, the present investigation suggests that plants are capable of degrading toxic substances and should b

|
Abstract
Water is an important resource that supports life on the earth. Contamination with diverse categories of pollutants (toxic metals, agrochemicals, synthetic pesticides, and organic substances) has drastically altered the quality of aquatic ecosystems. Undoubtedly, there are numerous technologies and approaches to deal with menace of contamination in aquatic environs. Nowadays, application of aquatic plants (macrophytes) has been proven to be a safe and viable technology for degradation and cleaning of harmful and toxic substances from aquatic environs both naturally as well as experimentally. Macrophytes are important in reducing the pollution level of aquatic ecosystems. They have the capacity to improve the water quality by removing nutrients, heavy metals, toxic organics, suspended solids, and other pollutants from contaminated wastewaters, thus plays an important role in purification of wastewater. Furthermore, macrophyte component of aquatic environment helps indirectly in metal retention by slowing the water current to sediment and suspend heavy metals. These aquatic plants could be applied as an effective, efficient, and choice to clean the wastewaters contaminated with metal

Abstract
The present world is facing environmental management problem as the major issue in almost every country across the globe; this is due to increased human population which in turn has led to the rapid urbanization and industrialization which has delivered lot of non-biodegradable chemical substances in to the environment. Similarly, to feed the increased human population by doubling the agricultural productivity, all countries have adopted usage of highly aromatic and toxic pesticides in agriculture sector. This might have solved the problem of food security to some extent, but usage of high amounts of organic pesticides has contaminated the environmental sites such as water bodies, air and soil systems. Due to all of these anthropogenic stresses, now the environment has changed drastically and posed biodiversity loss and public health issues which has attracted the attention of environmentalists for the cleanup and restoration of environment at an earliest mode. As compared to conventional and natural methods; by using the biotechnological tools and applications it is an easier, time saving, safer, and sustainable way to remediate the contaminated sites. In this chapter, we represen

Rezwana Assad,Zafar Ahmad Reshi,Irfan Rashid,Yogesh Shouche,Dhiraj Dhotre |
|
Abstract
The ecological health hazards posed by unsystematic use of chemical pesticides, pesticide effluence, and recuperation of pesticide polluted ecosystems have affianced global deliberations of ecologists, environmentalists, conservationists, and environmental policy-makers. Nowadays, endeavours pertaining to application of intriguing ectomycorrhizal association for on-site pesticide remediation are acquiring huge consideration from global scientific community. These ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi represent a functional group of enormous importance, that interconnects plants through below-ground colossal hyphal networks and serve as potential indicators of changes in environmental quality. Owing to their specialized lifestyle and mycorrhizoremediation potential, ECM fungi remediate pesticides through enzymatic conversion of noxious pesticides into innocuous residues. As an innovative emerging discipline, ectomycorrhizal biotechnology engrosses application of subsist ECM fungal strains or their prominent fungal enzymes, via contemporary biotechnological approaches, for sustainable remediation and recuperation of gravely disturbed environs. This technology has persuasive potential to arise
